On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite (free), which was well equipped for our needs. Well located property with really pretty, well maintained garden areas. There is an infinity pool for residents’ use. The lodge itself is very impressive with some great features, including a thatched roof. As part of our deal, breakfast was included, but we also to chose to dine there each evening of our stay. There was a good choice of cold and hot food items for breakfast. Evening meals were good (hence we ate there each night !) and there were choices available. Restaurant Manageress, Princess, was welcoming. We saw a bit of the owners, Kerry, Ant & Ryan who were very friendly, offering up suggestions for things to do during our stay. Overall a great stay in the Drakensberg.

A ye olde English country hotel situated in beautiful grounds. Stunning furniture, gardens, and artwork. Brilliant pub with a la carte food. We had the pub log fire experience in January. They have their own craft beer, which is fantastic. Lovely walks around the dam and through the forest. The staff are top class and can handle queries very promptly. Breakfast is brilliant, I recommend the eggs benedict. The whole experience has a genuine personal touch, which is rare nowadays.

    Stayed with family of 10 in 5 Bedroom manor. It is a beautiful home in the mountains. Large dining and lounge area with deck overlooking mountains and hot water splash pool. Very well furnished and designed en suite rooms. Very private with Air conditions and fireplace. Have vacationed extensively in the berg with family. This was by far the most comfortable and memorable. The last few kilometres to resort was a bit challenging however if you drive carefully it’s manageable. All the staff were excellent. Congratulations to management.

    The attention to detail both in the chalets as well as the whole resort. Gardens lush and beautiful. Bird life, views of the river and the mountains, hearing the cow bells and call of the herd men. Having no load shedding was a huge plus! Chalets have all you need, are comfortable with good quality linen on the beds.

    Theres plenty to do and see, its a real destination. A few days here melt away in the mountains. Especially great if you enjoy hiking and being outdoors. Food options range from independent restaurants to grand resort buffets and be sure to try Chocolate memories of you have a sweet tooth. Its pretty much a one road tourist town and is super easy to navigate. It's where I run whenever I get a free weekend.

    Electricity cut of many times during our stay due to the switch tripping. Drain clogged in shower. Carpets not vacuumed but only swept with a broom, which was evident in our continuous sneezing upon entering the room. Geyser switch tripped on checkout day and therefore we could not shower in our room. Rooms need to be better maintained and cleaned.

    There are several resorts and a number of smaller accommodations in this picturesque valley, a hotspot for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. It is close to the famous Sani Pass, where 4X4 enthusiasts can ascend one of the highest and most scenic trails in Southern Africa. The town has charming shops and eateries, and many of the resorts offer a host of activities, restaurants and outdoor adventure options.
